Go To Sleep Lyrics


[Mad Child]
yo it took 5 minutes now i call you baby
both fucked up but we still good crazy
got boyfriends so our love's like maybe
ro dawg ask if we mis behaving
you seem like you gotta a couple screws loose too
we just met and im afraid one day i might lose you
somethin cornered in my head like what am i gon' do
this is wrong but if you want me you know i'll come through
often you walkin in highheels and stalkings
see dollar signs in your eyes when your talkin
but i know there's another side, face me, embrace me
i need you, i need to feed till i breathe you
and you know soon we both gon have to make a decision
feel bad, he's got to go be he's not takin you with him
till then, just promise me that you wont cry
ill meet you in your dreams, first we'll talk till your phone dies[Barbie Hatch][chorus]
go to sleep so we can meet

again
go to sleep so we can meet
again[Prevail]
the first time i saw her i was breathless speechless
a goddess in front of my eye with righteous features
too nervous to introduce myself as prevail
this has never happened before so i knew it was real
what we're buildin is a feeling that has opened me up
we build together everyday, i hope your feeling this cut
plus we both travel the world, destination unknown
ill meet you in a private location in ancient rome
in a different time zone we can finally be alone
im on the countdown grindin with my brothers on the road
this time around my mind is on a different mode
theres no need to shop around i got the good shit at home
ive been blessed with a priceless precious jewel
the freshest girl i met in my life is you
you're my partner in crime my lifeline understand
close your eyes hold my hand and enter the sandman[chorus][Mad Child]
if your not dream come true, dont pretend to be
you know that i've already slept with the enemy
lady venom has ended now that im independant
livin life without tension first im lookin for friendship[Prevail]
lifestyle surrendered centered faithful focus sinful
in past life we've become closest eyes are wide open
curse has been broken immersed in your person, truth has been spoken[Mad Child]
im hopin you see me when your head hit the pillow that
when i go to sleep first thing i see is your sillouhette
feel like i was always missin something true until we met
i know that we can't be together now but soon we'll meet again[Prevail]
my tour ends, until then ill meet you in the dream land
'cause each and every moment is important that's the game plan
a changed man, help me put my life into perspective
its impossible to seperate as long as we're connected[chorus]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Swollen Members was founded in the mid-1990s by Vancouverites Mad Child, Prevail and Moka Only. Having begun a solo career while living in San Francisco, California, Mad Child returned to Vancouver for some work. There he met Prevail and Moka Only, working as partners and making a name together on Canada's West coast hip hop community. The trio saw each other's abilities, thought they heard opportunity knocking, and joined together under the name Swollen Members. Soon after, however, Moka Only decided he wanted to pursue a solo career and left the group.

In 1996, Mad Child and Prevail went to the B-Boy Summit in San Diego, California, where Mad Child won several rap battles and was initiated into the Rock Steady Crew, legendary to the hip hop/b-boy scene. The Crew is held in great respect as hip hop's highest collective - to join one must win a contest of skill against one of the highest ranked members. Swollen Members is one of only three rap groups affiliated with Rock Steady.

That same year, the duo began recording their first tracks, with help from many of their friends from the scene - MCs, DJs, and producers, including Rob the Viking. Rob would continue to work with the group through the years, eventually joining them later. From the praise they were receiving, they decided it was time to release their material as a group. With the subsequent release of three 12" singles on Mad Child's record label Battleaxe Records, the group quickly established themselves in the scene and built a respectable following. The next logical step was to release an album, which was titled Balance and released in 1999.

Balance received wide critical acclaim and has been claimed by the band to have sold in excess of 50,000 copies. Featuring collaborations with artists such as Everlast, Divine Styler, and Dilated Peoples, the album also netted Swollen Members the 2001 Juno Award for Best Rap Recording.

Following Balance, Swollen Members recorded and released Bad Dreams, which successfully dodged the so-called "sophomore curse" many artists suffer upon their second release. Bad Dreams was released on November 13, 2001, featuring guests such as Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, Son Doobie, Joey Chavez, and former member Moka Only. Like their debut, Bad Dreams was surprisingly successful for an independent rap album and brought Swollen Members global acclaim. Surprisingly, it appealed to both underground and mainstream audiences, with several singles reaching platinum status in Canada.

The album also earned Swollen Members their second Juno Award, and four MuchMusic Video Awards. The group continues to tour, visiting every major market possible and performing hundreds of shows a year; some with nearly 15,000 audience members. The media continues to give their music and live shows excellent coverage around the globe, and both new and old singles receive solid airplay on college and commercial radio. Their tracks have also been featured in a multitude of films, television programs, extreme sports videos, commercials, video games (especially games produced by Electronic Arts, which has a studio in their hometown of Vancouver), and compilation albums, the sales of which total in the millions when combined.

Swollen Members have appeared on numerous television shows, in addition to having several of their live shows televised. Like their singles, their music videos have been heavily played on both the Canadian MuchMusic and the American MTV, as well as on many independent video shows.

2002's Monsters in the Closet, their third release, brought them greater fame than ever before. Where Moka Only and Rob the Viking had only peripherally assisted the duo before, they now became official members of the group. Monsters included several unreleased tracks and remixes, as well as collaborations from fellow British Columbian Nelly Furtado and Saukrates of Def Jam. Production credits included Evidence from Dilated Peoples.

2003 brought Heavy, released yet again to critical acclaim and powerful sales, despite dismal video play time on MuchMusic. The band considers it the bridge between their underground origins and their potential for fame. Unfortunately the album was controversial among Swollen Members' fanbase. Many fans claim that Swollen Members have removed many elements of their style which had awarded them in the past. The lines were drawn between fans who began to listen to Swollen Members when Monsters in the Closet came out and fans attracted by the earlier two albums (especially Balance). They continue to tour, playing both local and international shows to the delight of their hometown fans.

In 2005 Moka Only decided to break off from the group for a second time and continue work on his solo career.

In 2006 Swollen Members released their fifth full album, Black Magic. It is understood that Mad Child and Prevail made an attempt to return to their previously critically acclaimed style and method. Their previous album Heavy was seen by the band as a disappointment, and isn't listed on their official site discography.

In August 2006, Swollen Members released their new single "Put Me On - Feat. Everlast" off of their new album, "Black Magic".

Their next CD is scheduled to be released at the end of the summer of 2008. According to the band's website, Mad Child will soon release a solo album.
